After spending 9 months of pregnancy wearing comfortable clothes that don't always match our style 100% (practicality is a must), some moms want to feel pretty again and wear clothes that look like them. Discover here our list of the best brands of nursing clothes. There is something for everyone!
Although there are tips to wear classic clothes during feeding, we must admit that it is not always the easiest and most pleasant to wear. Between the layering technique which consists in superimposing several layers of clothes to not reveal your belly or your breasts but which is not ideal during the summer days or the trick of wearing only oversized clothes, we sometimes want to have some stylish clothes which really flatter us. Because there's no reason why a nursing mom has to choose between comfort, practicality and style, brands have been working hard to offer clothes that meet all 3 criteria. Now you can feed your baby in style and without any headaches!
At first glance, if you put two tops next to each other, one "classic" and one designed for breastfeeding, you might not be able to tell them apart right away. But why? That's the ingenuity of these nursing clothes: they were designed so that nursing mothers can continue to dress as they wish thanks to super discreet opening systems. For breastfeeding, young mothers can choose between an opening with snaps or a side closure or a horizontal opening under the breasts... It's up to you to choose the opening that suits you best and where you are most comfortable.
This way, you can continue to wear these nursing clothes even after your milking adventure is over.
Amaë was created by Amaia, mother of a little Maël who could not find nursing clothes adapted to her style and her work because they were often too casual. She then differentiated herself from other brands on the market by offering elegant, feminine and responsible nursing dresses and tops. With a bohemian influence, these flowing and flowery garments allow to breastfeed discreetly thanks to an almost invisible lining system. Moms will be able to enjoy wearing their Amaë pieces even after their breastfeeding is over. Chic, sustainable and responsible, these are the key words of the Bordeaux-based brand. Indeed, Amaia took care to choose a workshop in Portugal certified Oeko-tex in order to offer quality clothes and healthy for your health. Another interesting point is that you can rent them, via the website liliandjude.fr

For the past 3 years, You & Milk has been offering nursing clothes that are both comfortable and feminine. With a casual style, their clothes are timeless and can be worn easily in any situation. Because it is important to wear clothes that are not harmful to our skin and to the environment, it is even more important when it comes to being in contact with your newborn. That's why each piece is made from organic cotton, grown with natural fertilizers and without pesticides.
And because they don't do things by halves, You & Milk are also socially committed. For each garment purchased on their website, they commit to donate 1€ to the association C.A.M.A, a mother-baby unit located in an underprivileged area of Côte d'Ivoire. We like the matchy matchy outfits with her baby, which make the originality of the brand.

The brand is also committed to donating 1€ per t-shirt sold to the San Rafael charity in Bogota, an association that helps single mothers learn a trade so that they can provide for their children.
